<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These 12 authors take you for a walk down a dark scary path of twisted decadence in Make Me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This book bundle is not for everyone! It is dark! There are events that happen that many can not deal with it (kidnapping, abuse, and BDSM) if you are sensitive to these things I do not recommend this title for you but if you are one that likes to push the edge and your own boundaries, I say JUMP!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Magnificent story telling and characters!</span><br />

Being ripped from her home and forced to leave behind her boyfriend, has caused an ache she's unsure will ever heal.<br /><br />Five years later, Vann is back. While her day job is kept secret from most, the threat it poses throws her entire world off balance, putting her and those closest to her in danger.<br /><br />Deke Sullivan’s life has been in a tailspin ever since his brother’s death. Everyone in his life has either betrayed or left him, making him who he is today. But behind his tough persona is still the man that craves the woman who left him all those years ago. One look into those blue-gray eyes sends his heart into overdrive, anger pulsating through him.<br /><br />Can Deke move past the hurt? Will what became of Vann's life after she left cause greater tragedy? Can first love prevail?<br /><b id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383597264791_27494"><br /><i id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383597264791_27493">**Please note. This book is for mature audiences only.

<b id="yui_3_13_0_1_978309989999_62436">Perfect for readers of Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Rachel Gibson, Molly O’Keefe’s second novel in her exciting new series—The Boys of Bishop—features an irresistible romance and unforgettable characters in a page-turning story that delivers equal parts emotion and humor . . . with a little edge to boot.</b><br />
<br />
As the daughter of a wealthy politician, Ashley Montgomery has had enough of her parents’ expectations for her future and is going her own way, volunteering to work at a refugee camp in Africa. But her act of charity turns dangerous when she takes a boat trip and is abducted by Somali pirates. Enter Brody Baxter, who was a bodyguard for the Montgomery family ten years ago and doesn’t think twice about coming to Ashley’s rescue. Handsome and tough, Brody has always done what needed to be done. So he swoops in, saves Ashley, and brings her to a place where she can rest and recuperate without the glare of the press and her demanding family: Brody’s small hometown of Bishop, Arkansas. But Ashley soon realizes that she’s not the only one in need of healing.<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mary’s nights are empty and cold, especially when that last battery dies. She yearns for the warmth and fulfillment only a living partner can provide, but is failing dismally in the dating arena. She’s a Medical Examiner with an advanced degree in sheer brilliance, but she can’t find the right guy with the right equipment. They all have something to offer, but none of her dates seems to posses the complete package. Together with her bestie, Inga the Scandinavian little person, Mary devises a plan, using her genius, the magic of electricity, and the choicest morsels from her evening “buffet” at the morgue.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Gruesome? To some, perhaps. But for Mary it’s a chance to achieve her lifetime dream and create something unique and living, instead of endlessly cataloging death. Long shot or not, Mary knows she has to try. Because where there’s a willy, there’s a way…</span></div>

<div class="yiv8133311516MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Excerpt:</b></span></div>
<div class="yiv8133311516MsoNormal">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mary finished her last autopsy on a man who had a massive heart attack during sex with a prostitute. The handcuff marks were still on his wrists because they couldn’t find the key immediately, and the look on his face—his lips puckered and his eyes crossed—made her snicker.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />“Look Inga? Remind you of anyone?”</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />Inga stood on her tiptoes and smiled. “Yeah, looks like Professor Ryan when he caught me going down on his wife on that big wooden desk in his office.”</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />Mary’s days tended to run together into a blur. She had never gone for the standard three kids, a house and a wealthy husband kind of life everyone envisioned for her. Instead she knew she was a borderline workaholic with little time for anything normal in the way of a social life.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />As she sat in the cafeteria, sipping on her fresh cup of espresso, she took a long, deep cleansing breath. Inga had left already because she had a date with a pair of nymphomaniac Vietnamese lesbians. The cases were pretty much wrapped up, and Mary figured another hour or two and she could leave. In the quiet, she started to daydream.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />Perhaps she should call Peter back. See if he’d be up for a date. She had left him asleep with a bag of frozen peas on his balls. He had a shiny glaze on his lips from eating her out, and was snoring from exhaustion.<br /><br />Maybe he could be a steady fuck buddy. He had great equipment and sure knew how to use it. She wondered what it would be like to be in a somewhat normal relationship.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />She reflected on all the different men and sexual partners she had been with in the past, and went back even further in her memories. She’d never been the most popular girl in school. Most women geniuses tended to be shunned and even though she had the looks and social skills, dealing with the arrogant divas in college fraternities wasn’t her bag. She tended to be drawn to the lab rats and nerdy guys who understood intelligent thoughts instead of football scores. The ones who boasted about the notches on their headboards from all the girls they gave drugs and alcohol to so they could fuck them then brag how good they were.<br /><br />A few times Mary had fallen into relationships but mostly she wound up in disasters.<br /><br />Brad had been the guy every girl wanted to be with. He played football, was boyishly handsome, popular and—rumor had it—was any young girls dream in the back seat of a car. When she was in her first year of college he was a junior, and scouts were already looking at him for the pros.<br /><br />Mary fell under his spell in class when she sat next to him. She let him cheat off her papers because that smile made her heart melt and her panties wet. She wasn’t the type to go for the fantasy guys. In fact she hadn’t gone for any guys up to that point.<br /><br />Being a virgin in college was almost as much of a sin as being the college slut. The line between the two wasn’t wide at all. Girls needed to be wholesome and pure but know about sex and giving blowjobs and maybe some anal on a special occasion.<br /><br />But most guys steered away from the girls known to be walking nymphomaniacs. The ones who usually spread diseases when they walked past a guy and had scabies and crotch lice leaping off their pussies. It was a known fact that a dude would have to be covered in a full body condom and have a major dose of Lysol over his jewels before entering the hazardous waste dump.<br /><br />Mary tried her best to walk that thin line.<br /><br />Brad took her virginity as a bet in college. He posted nude photos of her on the Internet after slipping her a roofie and fucking her when she passed out on a set of bunk beds in his dorm room. The images of her with a Barbie doll in her ass were the worst, but he had the softest hands, perfectly sized to hold her, and he took care of them because he was a tight end.<br /><br />However, she got some form of revenge a couple of years later. Brad came out as gay and was gang-banged by an opposing team after losing a bet. Now he’s a wide receiver.<br /> </span><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">S. Walden used to teach English before making the best decision of her life by becoming a full-time writer. She lives in Georgia with her very supportive husband who prefers physics textbooks over fiction and has a difficult time understanding why her characters must have personality flaws. She is wary of small children, so she has a Westie instead. Her dreams include raising chickens and owning and operating a beachside inn on the Gulf Coast (chickens included). When she's not writing, she's thinking about it.</span></i></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She made sure to look as inconspicuous as possible for her first day of classes: jean shorts, tank top, flip flops. She kept her hair down but pulled it off her face with a headband. She wore a tad bit of makeup. Nothing showy, but she thought first day classes warranted mascara and lip gloss, at the least.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She slid into a seat in the row closest to the windows. She didn’t bother to look for Michael. Or save him a seat. She still wasn’t sure about that guy. She felt guilty for not telling Mark about Michael’s kissing comment. She wanted a friend, but she was unsure if he was a good one. She scanned the room for somebody better. She needed a girlfriend. And there was one sitting directly behind her.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Time is running out for Prince Vittorio. His father’s health is failing and he must find a royal bride. Fast. He’s never forgotten his glimpse of a beautiful Scandinavian princess and lures her to his Mediterranean country with an invitation to his father’s birthday ball. He’d planned to propose a marriage agreement as cold as her icy reputation, but then he discovers she's as colorful and warm as a summer sunset. The heat between them flares red-hot and when she allows him to seduce her, Vittorio sees his future unfolding just as he had planned. But what he doesn’t know is that the woman in his bed is not a princess at all.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The last thing schoolteacher Mia Holmberg expects when she masquerades as her royal cousin is to be swept off her feet by a charming prince. The incredible night in Vittorio’s arms is like a fairy tale come true, but she’d never want the life of a real princess, with all its pomp and politics. Knowing they can never have a future together, she slips out of his bed and back to reality, where she belongs. </span></div>

Despite her attempts to stay aloof, Mia soon learns there’s more to the prince than arrogance and attitude, but now she’s in danger of falling in love with a man she can never have.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />It isn’t often when you read a novella, and feel like you have read a full length book. This is one of those times. Prince Vittorio and Mia suck you in from the first sentence and have you wanting to see how it can possibly work out for them to both end up happy. <br /> <br />Price Vittorio of Mezzano’s time as a carefree bachelor is coming to an end. His father is very sick and may not be alive long. He sees Princess Brigitte of Stagatland in a chance encounter and schemes to have her come to his father’s birthday celebration. She isn’t the cold ice princess he is expecting, and this night spent in her company may change his life forever. <br /> <br />Mia Holmberg has been switching places with her royal cousin for most of their lives, so when Brigitte begs her to take her place at this celebration she reluctantly agrees. She truly didn’t expect to fall under the spell of Vittorio, but she can’t resist one night with in his arms to experience the chemistry that is flowing between them. She never expects to see him again. Boy is she surprised when he walks into her grandfather’s bakery and discovers that she lied to him. When he has her brought to him in Mezzano, she doesn’t know how this kidnaping could lead to the biggest heartache and life change a girl could ever experience. <br /><br />Is happy for now enough? When the laws literally keep you from happily ever after, can you be content with a glimpse at true happiness? That is the big question for these two. I truly enjoyed the journey with these two. There is just something so special about both of them. It is the perfect quick read for a lunch break or before bed. I truly hope y’all enjoy it as much as I have! :) </span> <br /><b>~ Casey Lu</b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Thanks so much for having me as your guest today. I’m so
excited about the release of Her Royal Masquerade.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
What draws us to royalty? What has us scrambling for
pictures of royal couples, following the engagement and wedding of William and
Kate, and hanging on the media coverage of the birth of the new prince?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I suppose there is always a fascination with
people whose lifestyles are so different from our own, especially if they seem
so glamorous. I remember as a little girl dressing up as a princess with a long
skirt and a make believe tiara on my head. I felt pretty and special, and don’t
all little girls want to feel that way?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Look at the popularity of television shows like Once Upon A
Time. We grow up on fairy tales. Stories of princes and princesses. Fantasies
that make us sigh when the shoe fits or the kiss wakes the Sleeping Beauty.
Some say it’s a Cinderella complex. The first time I heard that term I had to
look it up. Basically, it describes a <span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">fear of being independent that causes an unconscious desire to be
taken care of by others. And while that might describe some women out there, I
think we can enjoy our fantasies without worrying we have some kind of complex.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Enjoying a fairy tale romance that involves a handsome
prince is not looking for a man to take care of us. At least not for me. And
not for Mia in Her Royal Masquerade. She’s not looking for a romance with a
prince. She’s a practical schoolteacher and definitely not looking for someone
to take care of her. She can take care of herself, thank you very much. But
while she might not be helpless, when it comes to the way she feels about
Vittorio, she’s weak. And don’t we all fantasize about the kind of love that
engulfs us, embraces us? The kind of love that makes our heart soar. The kind
of love that is so powerful, there is no escaping it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But, you see, the thing is, it happens to Vittorio too. He
never expected to fall in love. He’s required to marry royalty, so he expected
a cold business arrangement of a marriage like his parents had. And then he
meets Mia. And he’s just as weak around her. There’s no escaping his feelings
for her, even when he knows it is an impossible situation. And don’t we all
like the thought of a man, rich and powerful or not, who’s brought to his knees
by the love of a woman? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So this book is for the little girl inside of us who always
wanted to be a princess, even when she knew she was just an ordinary girl. And
this book is for the grown woman in us, who can sigh when approached by a
handsome prince, drawn out onto the dance floor, and begins to fall in love. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Time is running out for Prince Vittorio. His father’s health is failing and he must find a royal bride. Fast. He’s never forgotten his glimpse of a beautiful Scandinavian princess and lures her to his Mediterranean country with an invitation to his father’s birthday ball. He’d planned to propose a marriage agreement as cold as her icy reputation, but then he discovers she's as colorful and warm as a summer sunset. The heat between them flares red-hot and when she allows him to seduce her, Vittorio sees his future unfolding just as he had planned. But what he doesn’t know is that the woman in his bed is not a princess at all.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The last thing schoolteacher Mia Holmberg expects when she masquerades as her royal cousin is to be swept off her feet by a charming prince. The incredible night in Vittorio’s arms is like a fairy tale come true, but she’d never want the life of a real princess, with all its pomp and politics. Knowing they can never have a future together, she slips out of his bed and back to reality, where she belongs. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But Vittorio discovers the deception and kidnaps Mia back to his palace, demanding she be his mistress until the real princess appears. Despite her attempts to stay aloof, Mia soon learns there’s more to the prince than arrogance and attitude, but now she’s in danger of falling in love with a man she can never have.</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382653769581_13329">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mia sipped her champagne and tried not to be affected by the man sitting next to her. He was so…so everything. Charming. Gorgeous. Commanding. Seductive. One dance and she hadn’t been able to control her reaction to him. What had made her press against him like that? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382653769581_13328">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To rub against his obvious erection? With a man she’d only known a few minutes. She was certain even Birgitte wouldn’t have been that forward. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She’d had to get off the dance floor, had to get out of his arms before she did something outrageous like beg him to take her to some dark corner and ease the ache he was causing within her. But tonight she was Birgitte. No free pass at this ball. She had to act the princess. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But she longed to be out on the dance floor again. The music was so stirring. She found herself swaying with the beat of the song. The ballad was one she didn’t recognize, one she’d certainly never heard back home. The melody called to her on a visceral level. There was no logical reason why. Music was that way sometimes. It couldn’t have anything to do with Vittorio.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“What are you thinking?” he asked softly, leaning over to murmur the question softly in her ear. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Simply enjoying the music,” she replied, trying to ignore the delightful shiver caused by the whisper of his warm breath along her skin. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He slipped his arm over the top of her chair, letting his fingers brush her bare shoulders. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Just a simple touch like that sent her heart racing. “Would you like to dance again?” he asked in a seductive tone that suggested he might be talking about more than just a dance. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“I’m not sure I dare,” she admitted, keeping her gaze on the musicians. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Oh?” With one finger, he touched her chin and turned her face his way. He shot her a wickedly sexy grin. “You don’t seem to be the type to back away from a challenge.” </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She leaned back against his warm arm. She couldn’t help herself. “So I should consider another dance with you as a challenge?” </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One lazy finger traced circles on her bare shoulder, teasing a shiver to run along her skin. “For me, the challenge will be pretending I have no more interest in you than any other guest at the palace tonight.” </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mia swallowed to moisten her suddenly dry mouth. Pretending she was Birgitte made it slightly easier for her to hold his gaze and slowly smile. “And what interest do you have in the princess of Stagatland?” </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“I assure you, my interest in you is strictly as a beautiful, enticing woman. That you are the lovely princess is simply an additional benefit.” </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382653769581_13335">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She knew better. He wouldn’t be flirting with her if he knew she was a commoner, no one of importance. If he ever saw her in her usual outfits, the bulky sweaters and heavy boots, he wouldn’t look at her twice. The knowledge should have upset her, but it had been a fact of life for her since she was old enough to realize that her cousin was treated differently than she was. Mia had always had to step back and let Birgitte have all the attention, no matter if it was a royal affair or simply a family gathering. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382653769581_13336">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To be called beautiful and enticing by such a handsome, charming man gave her often bruised ego a boost. What harm would it do to soak up an easy compliment? He probably tossed them away like crumbs to the birds. A man such as Prince Vittorio surely had had his choice of beautiful women over the years. He knew how to charm. Seduce. She told herself she could enjoy it without making more of it than what was intended. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382653769581_13337">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Birgitte would probably take the compliment as her due. No sense gushing over the flattering remarks. She was a princess. Act like it, she admonished herself. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382653769581_13338">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“I suppose I could take a chance and join you on the dance floor once more,” she said, trying to keep her tone light and flirty, and not betray the fact that she was aching to be back in his arms again. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382653769581_13334">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“I like a woman who’s willing to take a risk.” The faint lines at the corners of his eyes crinkled with his smile and she wanted to reach out and brush her finger over them. Oh, she liked him. More than she should. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382653769581_13339">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Grab the moment, Mia. Tomorrow you’ll be back home, shivering from the freezing cold instead of the arousing touch of a handsome prince. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382653769581_13340">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Vittorio rose and graciously helped her to her feet. His commanding presence threatened to take her breath away. How could she resist him at all? </span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Greg glanced at Carlos’s
hand. “You still aren’t wearing your ring. Were you actually married, or was
that some kinda fucked-up story?”</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Carlos groaned and stared
up at the morning sky. “She moved out, which was why I came by the club. I
wanted to talk, but you were otherwise engaged.” He coughed a laugh. “I’m not
sure what kind of crack I was smoking thinking that we were that kind of
friend. You’re my boss for crying out loud.”</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">“Oh.” Greg pressed his lips
together, nodding with mock agreement. “That’s very mature. While we’re being
mature, should I trot out the liar-liar-pants-on-fire argument, because I’m
pretty sure I saw you kissing that guy in there.”</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Carlos thumped down the
barely-holding-it-together wood stairs. “You did not see me kissing him in
there. Did. Not.”</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">“Looked a hell of a lot
like kissing.” Greg’s insides washed in relief, but he wasn’t sure he was ready
to buy what Carlos was selling.</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Carlos leaned close. “I
handed him,” he said slowly, “a cup of coffee. We were talking. Our faces were
close. The screen’s kinda thick on that living room window. Not the most
conducive for spying, Greg.”</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Oh Jesus. “I wasn’t spying
I just happened— You know what? Whatever.” He spread his arms out wide. Took a
step back. “So your wife being gone has nothing to do with you humping my leg
in your sleep and coming in your pants?”</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Carlos didn’t answer, but
his face flushed a hot red that would have been sexy if Greg hadn’t been so
pissed.</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">“Yeah. Listen,” Greg said.
“This ain’t exactly an out-and-proud part of the country, man. Nobody knows
better than I do. I’ve had my share of run-ins.” He stepped backward. Suddenly
his stomach was full of rocks and he needed to get back to his car. “I still
trusted you.” He nodded again, more to himself this time than to Carlos. “Gotta
be honest, that you didn’t? Stings some.”</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">“Hey.” Carlos’s long legs
ate up the distance between them. He gripped Greg’s shoulder with strong, dark
fingers and pushed him back against the alcove over the front door, kissing
hard.</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Oh God. His distant memory
of kissing Sammy had nothing on kissing Carlos. This was fire. Passion. Greg’s
mouth came alive with Carlos’s lips on his. Their tongues slid together. His
cock hardened as their bodies pressed in all the right places. Electricity shot
through his veins when Carlos’s teeth grazed his
tongue.</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Carlos moaned and
repositioned his mouth, kissing over and over. Harder. Harsher. Grinding
erection against erection, twisting the fabric of Greg’s shirt in his
hand.</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Greg’s brought his hands to
Carlos’s shoulders, and whether he was holding tighter or pushing away, he
couldn’t quite tell even to himself.</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Carlos pulled away, and
Greg was still gasping when Carlos whispered in his ear, “I’m awake now,
Greg.”</span></div>

Carrington is driven to write it. She loves to create original stories that are
gritty, witty, and a little unexpected, just like the heroes who inhabit them.
Her guys come in both human and non-human form because spirit guides and
vampires deserve love too. Her favorite things are great friends, great music,
and books that make her sob like there’s no tomorrow.<br />

<b><i>Q: How did you come up with the title Fresh Women?</i></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b>A:</b> I loved the fact that there are many different meanings
and plays on words within the title, Fresh Women.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think all writers have certain words they
love and hate, and I love the word fresh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It can have opposing meanings and in the case of the tittle, it
represents the opposition between the novel’s main characters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most people will probably look at the cover
and assume the title refers to women being fresh meaning nasty and impudent,
and that’s certainly true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it also
references how raw, innocent, and pure other characters are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally, Fresh Women is a wink to my fellow
women’s college graduates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At Barnard,
we were told not to refer to ourselves as freshmen because we weren’t men.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The term we used instead was First Years, but
sometimes we used Fresh Women in jest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When I started writing this book, Fresh Women captured everything I
wanted to convey in a title and I never considered using anything else.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Q: You are well known for writing a non-fiction series about
Hot Chicks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tell us about that series.</i></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b>A:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The “Hot Chick”
series is three books that I wrote with the fabulous writer and actress Cerina
Vincent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In our books, we define a Hot
Chick as a confident, empowered woman who knows what she wants and goes after
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those books aren’t about looks at
all! Through our friendship, Cerina and I learned so much and gained a lot of
confidence, and the idea behind that series was to share the life-changing
advice that we gave each other with young women around the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started with diet advice (or as we call
it, anti-diet advice) in How to Eat Like a Hot Chick because we know that so
much of women’s confidence is unfortunately centered on what we eat and how we
feel about our weight. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there, we
moved to relationships (the other thing we drive ourselves nuts about) in How
to Love Like a Hot Chick. Then we wrapped it all up with advice on work/life
balance in Live Like a Hot Chick. It’s been amazing to hear from women all over
the world who tell us, “I used to look in the mirror and think, ‘I’m a fat
pig,’ but now I tell myself, ‘I am a Hot Chick!’”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Q: You’ve also written several books as a ghostwriter.
What’s that like?</i></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b>A:</b> I love the process of ghostwriting, mostly because it
involves such close collaboration. Writing can be a lonely process, but when
you’re working with an author on his or her book, it’s a lovely partnership
instead of a solitary endeavor!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ghostwriting also allows me to step into another author’s shoes for a
few months and learn from them while helping them share their story and
expertise with the rest of the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is rewarding and challenging to capture an author’s unique voice and translate
it into an actual book.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Q: Why did you decide to start writing fiction now? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
A: I strongly believe that as a writer it’s crucial to be
diverse. It’s one thing if you’re an established entity who’s selling a billion
thrillers a year or what have you, but as a non-fiction writer, I had to
diversify.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My expertise is in writing in
general, not in one style of writing or one particular subject.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After reading the Hot Chick books, some
people are surprised to hear that I’ve written serious non-fiction as a
ghostwriter, but that’s silly and judgmental. I’ve written everything from
grant proposals for Ivy League colleges to speeches for corporate CEOs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A good writer can write anything, and fiction
was simply the next way to challenge and push myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a way of expressing a different side of
myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have no intention of giving up
ghostwriting, either.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Part of what I love
about writing is the opportunity to keep trying something new, challenging, and
exciting!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b>A: </b>My tastes as a reader are just as diverse as they are as
a writer! I love all types of fiction,
from literary fiction to chick lit to romance.
In non-fiction, I especially love memoirs and books that inspire and
motivate me to push harder and do better!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

But she’s determined to use these four years to figure out who in the world she’s meant to be. At a school where she’s lectured not to identify herself by her gender, Cate is shocked by her own attraction to her very oppositely gendered professor. Alex is sexy and mysterious, having survived a recent tragedy. In fact, his presence on campus causes such a stir that soon Cate finds herself competing for his attentions with both another professor and a girl who may be her best friend or her worst enemy. But Cate and Alex’s connection is undeniable.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Are you okay?” He asked, his face etched with concern, and she just nodded again, not trusting her voice. She didn’t want to cry in front of him, but it was looking inevitable. “Come here,” Alex said, sitting down on the plush chair across from his desk and pulling Cate down into his lap. She just sat there as he stroked her hair and planted a few soft kisses on her cheek, and after maybe thirty seconds she fell into a sound sleep.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cate opened her eyes an hour later and watched Alex for a full minute before she realized where she was. He was holding his arms out to the side, squinting his eyes to read something that looked like a manuscript. As he finished each page he turned it agonizingly slowly, taking great pains not to wake her. Cate hadn’t known quite what to expect when she began this spontaneous relationship of sorts with her professor, but this simple act of kindness and consideration certainly wasn’t it. It made her think, against every other ounce of her good judgment, that this was actually a good idea. The year had been incredibly hard, lonely, and confusing, and if she could find someone who cared enough about her to sacrifice his own comfort and productivity just so she could get a few minutes of sleep, why in the world would she let that person go?</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Hi,” she said softly and he turned his head to look at her. They both smiled. Cate wrapped one arm around his neck and pulled his face to hers, kissing him passionately once they met. Alex was clearly surprised by her aggression, but pleasantly so. He tossed his manuscript onto the floor and put both of his hands at her waist, pulling her towards him in a much different position than the childlike one she’d slept in. Now she was straddling him, her knees pressed against the back of the cushioned chair as they kissed fervently. Cate felt like he was consuming her and she liked it. She wanted to disappear into Alex, away from her own mixed feelings and constant confusion. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cate stood up abruptly to shimmy out of her jeans. Alex took the hint and did the same thing, and then they rearranged themselves on the chair in the exact same position as before. Alex had already entered her when he pulled her sweater and bra over her head in one motion, bending her backwards so that he could reach his lips to her breasts. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A quiet moan escaped from her lips. Alex moved his hands down to her hips, using his strength to push her entire body back and forth against him so that he went deeper and deeper inside. Cate kissed him as she ground her body against his, loving the way his hard body felt against her soft skin. Alex grabbed onto her hair as they rocked together in perfect unison.</span></div>

Readers of the Santini series met two of them, Jack and
Jesse, but the first book is about Bran. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Johnsons are a typical military family. Their father,
who is a general now, raised them on his own after their mother died—with the
help of his mother. Maryanne-the heroine in Leonardo-was the only kid who
decided the military was not for her but she does work at a military hospital.
Jesse, Jack and Bran all followed in their father’s footsteps, including time
at Annapolis-the Naval Academy. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our first hero does something I understand well. Bran is a
pilot and although he is a Marine, I know the breed well. My husband did not
fly, but growing up in and around them, along with spending time with their
spouses over the years, I understand their mentality and the sacrifices they
make. For Bran, it is almost second nature. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While they are competitive and sometimes downright rude to
each other, the Johnson siblings are a close-knit family. In fact, they are
often on the verge of being too nosey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two
favorites, <i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Winnie the Pooh</span></i> and the <i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Beatrix Potter </span></i>books.

on <i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Trixie Belden</span></i> and read and reviewed <i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">To Kill a Mockingbird</span></i> in middle school. It wasn’t
until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were
full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying
several different genres, she found romance in a Linda </span></span></div>

Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer’s
recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, twelve nominations for AAD

loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two
favorites, <i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Winnie the Pooh</span></i> and the <i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Beatrix Potter </span></i>books. She cut her preteen teeth
on <i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Trixie Belden</span></i> and read and reviewed <i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">To Kill a Mockingbird</span></i> in middle school. It wasn’t
until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were
full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying
several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Since the publication
of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to fifty romances published.
She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to
futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the bestselling<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/series/harmless.php"><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; color: #75140b; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Harmless series</span></a>.

Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer’s
recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, twelve nominations for AAD
Bookies, winning both Most Accessible Author and Author of the Year, and
regularly tops the best seller lists on<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Amazon</span></em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Barnes

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
Wow, Day Four and it is still going strong!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
I have been blabbering for months about my husband’s retirement. For those of you who might not know, my husband Les spent 20 years in the Air Force. This September, he retired and I am so excited about this next chapter in our lives. Still, there are things I loved about being a spouse and here are the top five things:</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
<strong>Mel’s Top Five Favorite Things About Being a Military Spouse</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
5. My children were raised in a diverse environment with people from different cultures, religions and creeds.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
4. Being part of something bigger than just an every day job. Families serve too, especially spouses. Support from family is one thing almost every military service member says helps them do their job better.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
3. Familiarity. I will be honest with you. I grew up military and so shopping at the exchange and commissary on base, using the facilities…it’s all comforting to a military brat like me.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
2. The military family. It’s big, diverse, and oftentimes as annoying as your own blood family, but you can count on them in good times and bad.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
1. No matter where you are, you are home.</div>

First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, <em>Winnie the Pooh</em> and the <em>Beatrix Potter </em>books. She cut her preteen teeth on <em>Trixie Belden</em> and read and reviewed <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em> in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
Since the publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to fifty romances published. She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the bestselling <a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/series/harmless.php" style="color: #555555;">Harmless series</a>. In 2011, Melissa branched out into self-publishing with <strong><em><a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/submission.php" style="color: #555555;">A Little Harmless Submission</a></em></strong> and the popular military spinoff, <strong><em><a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/infatuation.php" style="color: #555555;">Infatuation: A Little Harmless Military Romance</a></em></strong>. Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer’s recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, twelve nominations for AAD Bookies, winning both Most Accessible Author and Author of the Year, and regularly tops the best seller lists on <em>Amazon</em> and <em>Barnes & Noble</em>. She recently had her first USA Today bestselling book, <a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/santinis/bundle.php" style="color: #555555;">The Santinis Collection</a>.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
Since she spent her childhood as a military brat, Melissa swore never to marry military. But, as we all know, Fate has her way with mortals. She is married to an AF major and is raising her own brats, both human and canine. She spends her days giving in to her addiction to <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/MelSchroeder" style="color: #555555;">Twitter</a>, happy her husband is finally retired and they are living where the bugs die in the winter.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I fell in love with both Shayla and John in the first book of the Clemmins/Matthews series, <i>No More Wasted Time</i>. Trust me when I say this book was not a letdown, in fact, it was the exact opposite and well worth the wait. I was drawn into Shayla’s dilemma immediately. I loved the journey I took with them as their relationship blossomed and as she faced making her life-altering decision.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Shay is a no nonsense woman, completely grounded and in control, though she’s blindsided by her current boyfriend’s marital proposal. The trip to Greece for her uncle’s upcoming wedding to Tess is the perfect escape she needs, giving her the time to think things through. But how clearly can she really think when she’s faced with a hunk of a man well beyond his years in maturity and sexy as all get-out? He’s the perfect fitting piece to the puzzle that is her life. The buildup to the HEA kept me turning pages. This is one of those books that you can’t wait to see how things turn out, yet never want to finish because it’s just that good.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You can easily read this without reading the first in the series, as Ms. Preston fills in the gaps masterfully, but I highly suggest you read <i>No More Wasted Time</i> first if you haven’t already, as it’s a truly wonderful story as well.</span></div>

Along the way, Beverly worked side by side with her husband Don, the love of her life, designing, building and selling custom homes. As her children begin to venture out on their own, she’s left to shed a tear—for a minute—wonder what’s next in life, and embrace the feeling of empowerment that surely must’ve been wrapped in a present she received on her fortieth birthday.<br /><br />If Beverly isn’t at home riding her spin bike, you’ll find her spinning richly emotional and sinfully sexy romance stories. </span></i><br />

Hello, everyone. Day three of the tour and I want to talk about music.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
Many of my readers know how much music plays into my writing. Some of my best memories are filtered through the music of the time. I even danced with my husband the first night we met <img alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://mrsconditreadsbooks.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" /></div>

So, it makes sense that I have a musical soundtrack for each of my books and of course, Tease Me was no different. So, here are a few of the songs I wrote to while I was writing:</div>

First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, <em>Winnie the Pooh</em> and the <em>Beatrix Potter </em>books. She cut her preteen teeth on <em>Trixie Belden</em> and read and reviewed <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em> in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
Since the publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to fifty romances published. She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the bestselling <a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/series/harmless.php" style="color: #555555;">Harmless series</a>. In 2011, Melissa branched out into self-publishing with <strong><em><a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/submission.php" style="color: #555555;">A Little Harmless Submission</a></em></strong> and the popular military spinoff, <strong><em><a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/infatuation.php" style="color: #555555;">Infatuation: A Little Harmless Military Romance</a></em></strong>. Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer’s recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, twelve nominations for AAD Bookies, winning both Most Accessible Author and Author of the Year, and regularly tops the best seller lists on <em>Amazon</em> and <em>Barnes & Noble</em>. She recently had her first USA Today bestselling book, <a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/santinis/bundle.php" style="color: #555555;">The Santinis Collection</a>.</div>

Since she spent her childhood as a military brat, Melissa swore never to marry military. But, as we all know, Fate has her way with mortals. She is married to an AF major and is raising her own brats, both human and canine. She spends her days giving in to her addiction to <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/MelSchroeder" style="color: #555555;">Twitter</a>, happy her husband is finally retired and they are living where the bugs die in the winter.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Faking it never felt so good… </i><br /><br />Cory Santangelo is used to getting his way, both in the boardroom and the bedroom. Lately he hasn’t had much opportunity to do anything but work, but one unexpectedly sexy night in a gazebo with Victoria, his gorgeous and feisty interior designer, changes all that—especially when they’re caught on camera. Suddenly Cory’s sterling reputation is no longer above reproach. Since his impromptu encounter coincides nicely with his need for a girlfriend to get his well-meaning, meddling parents off his back, he decides to ask his lifelong frenemy for a favor.<br /><br />To pretend to be his girlfriend for a month. No strings attached. The only problem? Vicky Townsend wants those strings tied all around her. <br /><br />She’s battled a long-suppressed crush on Cory, and their combative work relationship has only fanned the flames. When he suggests his needs are more than she can handle, she’s ready to up the ante. And her bargaining chip is lots of delicious, inventive sex.<br /><br />Until they discover nothing feels as good as making it real…</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Wowza! I just finished reading, No Romance Required, the long-awaited book by another favorite author of mine, Cari Quinn. I freaking love this woman and her stories! I always know I will get characters I will fall in love with and storytelling that will capture my heart. She also happens to be one of the nicest and funniest person I've gotten to know on twitter and FB and who truly adores her fans :) </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Let me just start off by saying how much I LOVED Cory! OMG! Behind his standoff-ish and workaholic persona, lays a man with some sexy and *gasp* kinky tendencies. It all began after some bantering between Cory and Vicky that turned into raw, smoldering heat at a gazebo for anyone to see. These two characters had incredible chemistry and I enjoyed the sparks, witty dialogue and banter whenever they were in the same room. They both had issues in their personal life; Cory being consumed with work and no interest in a long-term relationship and Vicky being afraid of getting abandoned again by those she loves. I loved that Vicky was a strong heroine and was not afraid of anything that Cory dished out.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">What started out as a "fake" relationship between him and Vicky to appease his parents, turned into something more meaningful than either one of them ever imagined. And the sex just kept getting hotter and hotter and I almost self-combusted after the wax play scene on the dining room table! *fans self* You will need some ice to cool off or help get things hotter again. LOL! Cari did a terrific job writing that scene and depicting each move and sensation experienced by both her characters. She just blew my mind and had me distracted all day until I could finish the book. </span></div>

In the meantime, I'm already anxiously waiting for the next book by this wonderful author. </span></div>

There was no denying it now. His body ached, his head spun. Never in his life had he wanted a particular woman this much. It left him slightly dizzy and confused. Over the last few days, he had denied his need for her so many times, but right then, at that moment, he couldn’t. There was something about Tess that tugged at his heart. It was probably a mistake, but he didn’t think he could stop himself from taking action. He walked over to her and slipped his arm around her waist. In that instant, it just felt right.</span></div>

First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, <em>Winnie the Pooh</em> and the <em>Beatrix Potter </em>books. She cut her preteen teeth on <em>Trixie Belden</em> and read and reviewed <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em> in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.</div>

Since the publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to fifty romances published.

Bran Johnson always knew he wanted to be a Marine. What makes it even better is longtime gal pal TK is now stationed at the same base. Unfortunately, Bran is having a hard time dealing with his feelings when he realizes that TK is considered a hot commodity on base. Worse, he finds himself taking a backseat to her admirers.</div>

<strong>A woman who always wished for more.</strong></div>

Tess Keller has loved Bran since they were in high school. The former football captain always treated her like a friend so she tried to move on. Unfortunately, he’s in her business constantly now. One passionate argument leads to more than either of them expected. Tess knows it isn’t going to last because Bran is never going to settle down. So, to save face, she suggests they stay friends, only with the side benefit of being sometime lovers.</div>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
<strong>A Marine determined to win at all costs.</strong></div>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
Bran agrees to the friends with benefits idea just to keep himself close to Tess. She might think he’s not around for the long haul, but this is one Johnson brother who knows exactly what he wants…and just how to get it. And what he wants is Tess in his bed and in his life forever. Nothing will stop him, not even Tess herself.</div>

First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, <em>Winnie the Pooh</em> and the <em>Beatrix Potter </em>books. She cut her preteen teeth on <em>Trixie Belden</em> and read and reviewed <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em> in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
Since the publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to fifty romances published. She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the bestselling <a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/series/harmless.php" style="color: #555555;">Harmless series</a>. In 2011, Melissa branched out into self-publishing with <strong><em><a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/submission.php" style="color: #555555;">A Little Harmless Submission</a></em></strong> and the popular military spinoff, <strong><em><a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/infatuation.php" style="color: #555555;">Infatuation: A Little Harmless Military Romance</a></em></strong>. Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer’s recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, twelve nominations for AAD Bookies, winning both Most Accessible Author and Author of the Year, and regularly tops the best seller lists on <em>Amazon</em> and <em>Barnes & Noble</em>. She recently had her first USA Today bestselling book, <a href="http://melissaschroeder.net/books/santinis/bundle.php" style="color: #555555;">The Santinis Collection</a>.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-top: 0px;">
Since she spent her childhood as a military brat, Melissa swore never to marry military. But, as we all know, Fate has her way with mortals. She is married to an AF major and is raising her own brats, both human and canine. She spends her days giving in to her addiction to <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/MelSchroeder" style="color: #555555;">Twitter</a>, happy her husband is finally retired and they are living where the bugs die in the winter.</div>

But when she finds herself tail over tits in the hydrangea, and Alex Ramirez appears to lend a helping hand, four-inch stilettos seem like the least of her worries. What's a country girl to do when her knight in shining armor turns out to be a rich boy with a mysterious agenda, and a pair of panty-dropping dimples? Two star-crossed lovers, one night, and a really naughty leather belt. Maybe Charlie should get out of Harlow County more often… This is a novelette length work (4 chapters/14K words, approx), and is the prequel to book 2 in the Dangerously Dimpled series, Plus None.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Keeping her loud, redneck family in line for seventeen years has been no easy feat for Charlie Davies, but she’s managed to carve out a life for herself in the quiet crazy of her hometown. That is, until her baby sister announces she’s marrying a country-club boy from the bright lights of Dallas. Charlie’s got two months to defeat her sister’s she-demon Maid of Honor, keep her cousins from ruining the nuptials, and decide whether her one-time, one-night stand Alex Ramirez is worth a second chance.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Alex has thought of almost nothing but Charlie for two years, since the morning he woke up alone in her empty hotel room. Her sister’s upcoming wedding to his best friend seems like the perfect opportunity to reconnect with the girl who got away, but he underestimates her pull on him and soon finds himself torn between love and duty.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">With the wedding fast approaching, Alex and Charlie’s relationship will be put to the test. Hillbillies, debutantes, and the old southern divide of rich and poor threaten to keep them apart. One thing's for sure, it's about to get interesting in Harlow County.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">Emily Hemmer was raised in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago before settling in Kansas City in 1996. She was raised in a house full of women and can therefore shower, blow-dry her hair, and apply full makeup in twenty minutes flat. A huge fan of romantic comedies, Emily was overjoyed to learn that her college roommate could recite every word of the movie ‘Clueless,’ until she realized that was the only VHS tape her roommate owned. Emily dropped out of college and to this day, blames the listless years of her twenties on the words, “As if!” She completed her degree after an extended eleven-year semester break.</span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Married in 1998, Emily and her husband ‘Mr. T’ have two beautiful children now entering their teenage years. Her mother assures her that these years are not meant as punishment for parents, but as a source of great hilarity and recompense for grandparents. A sweet yellow lab, a jerk-face Viszla puppy, and an evil Siamese cat make up the rest of the family.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In October 2012, Emily learned she came in 2nd place for the SFARWA ‘s Heart-to-Heart contest (for contemporary single title romance) for her first work, The Break-Up Psychic. This work has been a true labor of love and is the basis for all of Emily’s future happiness. But she’s trying not to put too much pressure on herself.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
According to her Yahoo! Shine horoscope for 2013, this year looks to be the best of Emily’s life. She has plans to publish three books, win countless accolades from her peers, and literally roll around on a bed made of money. She also plans to purchase a new dishwasher.</div>

<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The main doors of the room opened as Lauren paused her scan; the guest of honor was about to enter. Grabbing her camera, Lauren stood—only to immediately collapse back down into her chair when her knees gave out at the sight of Nathaniel Callahan standing in the doorway.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Oh my God.” Her stomach hit the floor.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“What's the matter? Are you okay?” Callie's concerned voice sounded as if it were traveling a great distance to reach her.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lauren glanced over at Callie and then toward the door again. Perhaps she'd imagined him. After all, why would he be here? The last time she'd heard anything about him, he was doing his third tour in the Middle East. Despite her hope that she'd started to hallucinate, when she looked again, he was still there, dressed in a black suit rather than his Marine uniform, his brown hair cut military short and looking much the same as he did the summer he'd broken her heart. She latched her hand onto Callie's arm. “Nate Callahan. He's here.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She kept her eyes on him. Since that awful day the summer after senior year, she'd only seen him once. She'd been home visiting her parents during holiday break her freshman year of college. She’d spotted him in his parents' driveway from her bedroom window. They'd received more than two feet of snow the night before and he was helping his father shovel. That morning she'd stood and watched until the entire driveway was cleared. When he and his dad finished, he went back inside his house without so much as a glance toward her home.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“What?” Callie asked, her voice louder than necessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Kevin and Dylan headed back to the table. "Nate just walked in," Lauren hissed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Lauren that . . ." Callie's voice trailed off and she sat up straighter. Her head moved to keep him in sight as he walked toward his parents. "What's he doing here?" she asked, her voice lower now.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Leaning closer, Lauren whispered, "I don't know. We don't exactly speak." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">I wrote my first story with characters similar to those in the Sweet Valley Twins books at the age of 10 on my grandmother's manual typewriter. As I got older my stories and characters became more mature. During my freshman year at UMass Dartmouth, I read my first romance novel and fell in love with the genre. I have been writing contemporary romance ever since.</span></i></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">I was so excited when I heard that author Lacey Thorn was going to continue her Pleasure series. I loved the previous three books and her latest release, Guarded For Pleasure, did not disappoint. Who wouldn't want to read about three sexy bodyguards? *sigh* And be jealous of the woman that gets all their attention. LOL! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Meg aka River is running scared as an ex-boyfriend continues to stalk her after she leaves him and her old life behind. Enter Luke, Phil and Rick who have been starring in her fantasies and ready to make them come true while trying to keep her safe. I loved how protective they were of River and taking matters into their own hands so she could reclaim her life and reunite with her best friends again. All four of them had great chemistry and the sex scenes were scorching HOT! </span></div>

I have to thank Lacey for listening to her fans who begged for more Pleasure stories (that would be me, LOL!). I'm really looking forward to the next book in this series. </span></div>

She can spot a match for someone else a mile away, and her balls-on instincts are why her matchmaking business is thriving, but finding her own Prince Charming? The only guy who makes her sixth sense tingle is her playboy best friend, Trick, and no way is she risking their friendship, no matter how hot she knows the sex will be.<br /><br />SWAT officer Trick Matthews is a patient guy, but Grace’s inability to see what’s right in front of her is grinding on his last nerve. Yeah, he blew his shot at breaking out of the friend zone when he tamped down the urge to lick her from head to toe the day they met, but he’s got a plan that’ll change her mind. Incognito at Salem's hottest Halloween party, he’ll show her exactly how good they could be…and that he’s the man for her.</span></span></div>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />Trick or treat? I’ll take Trick, for sure! <br /><br />Who doesn’t love a story about best friends who’ve pined for each other secretly? If that’s one of your favorite tropes, then this book is for you.<br /> <br />Patrick “Trick” Matthews, is Grace’s neighbor and friend. He’s a sexy member of the local SWAT team and experiences no lull in the hanky-panky department—women have been streaming in and out of his house for years—until lately. His sights are now set and Grace is in the crosshairs. The upcoming Halloween party is the perfect chance for him to show Grace they’re meant for other. But there’s a flaw in his plan... <br /><br />Here’s the irony... Grace’s love life is nonexistent, yet she’s an owner/operator of a matchmaking business. She and her friend Serena must go to this Halloween party in order to land an important client, one who can help skyrocket their business, Love Will Find a Way, to success. At the party, she runs into the mysterious “Cat Man” and even though she lacks a bit of self-confidence, she throws caution to the wind and enjoys every nip, lick and thrust this stranger has to offer. <br /> <br />Enter Trick’s flaw—When, if ever, is the best time to tell her he is Cat Man? Trickery gets trickier (say that three times real fast) in this cute story. It’s a definite page-turner, drawing you in because you have to know how Trick is going to get himself out of this mess with Grace—all the while I bet you’ll be rooting for him, hoping Grace will be able to forgive him. <br /><br />Dirty Trick is a super cute story full of sexiness and witty banter. Grace is loveable, Trick is undeniably sexy, and Serena... Well, let’s just say she’s a real kick in the pants and hopefully gets her own story sometime soon!</span><div>

I was so excited when I heard that author Christine Bell has an upcoming release titled <i>Dirty Trick</i>. Doesn't this just give you all sorts of ideas, whether it's dirty, naughty or just plain tricky? LOL! Well, let me tell you that this story had all three which I loved including a sexy hero in uniform and then a mask *sigh* <br /><br /><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Trick is a SWAT officer and known as a "player" by his best friend, Grace and the woman of his dreams. Grace has seen a string of women coming in and out of his house ever since she's known him and she's even felt a "tingle" for her sexy friend. Or is he just a friend?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static.zoovy.com/img/toynk/v1/U/29429_swat_team_police_uniform_jumpsuit_costume_adult.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://static.zoovy.com/img/toynk/v1/U/29429_swat_team_police_uniform_jumpsuit_costume_adult.jpg" width="255" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love stories where the hero and heroine are best friends and there's an underlying attraction beneath the surface waiting to be explored. Trick is tired of waiting for Grace to see him as something more than a friend, so when the opportunity to change that falls into his hands, he acts on it. Donned in his mask, he approaches Grace at a Halloween party and she is instantly attracted to him. The air between them just sizzles and they end up having sex. I really enjoyed the spontaneity of the moment and the passion that surrounded them. It does not stop here. Wait until you get to the movie theater scene...holy smokes that was one hot scene *fans self* </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1.wp.com/1.bp.blogspot.com/-PurlvC_c5Y8/UK2qUp5dY6I/AAAAAAAANgw/H3sIi7OV9uM/s400/damn-hot-fanning-.gif?resize=400%2C189" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="152" src="http://i1.wp.com/1.bp.blogspot.com/-PurlvC_c5Y8/UK2qUp5dY6I/AAAAAAAANgw/H3sIi7OV9uM/s400/damn-hot-fanning-.gif?resize=400%2C189" width="320" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />Even after these passionate encounters with her "masked" man, Grace can't stop thinking about Trick and how much she loves him and not just as a friend. She now realizes that Trick is everything she's been looking for and ready to tell him so. Will Trick finally get the woman he's been longing for or will he lose Grace when she finds out about his alter ego and his dirty trick? <br /> <br />Kudos to this wonderful author for writing another sexy and emotional story that I could get "lost" in for a few hours and become totally invested in. What a wonderful way to start a new series! I loved the interaction of all the characters in this story and the friendships among them. I enjoyed the playfulness and bantering between Trick and his SWAT buddies and the strong bond between Grace and Serena. I hope we will get to read stories for all of them. I'm really looking forward to Serena's story as we got a quick glimpse that she's been hurt in the past. I'm dying to find out what happened and want to see the man that heals her heart. </span><div>

So he looks to the outrageously ‘unique,’ inexplicably enigmatic, provokingly </span><i style="color: black;">button-pushing</i><span style="color: black;"> Tessa Daniels.</span></span></span></div>

She’s never been flung and she sure as heck doesn’t know where or how to begin flinging a guy like Brian. Tessa blames her temporary lapse in sanity on the can’t-help-but-fall-for-him brain fuzz that hits her whenever she’s around him. Not only does he have her being more herself than she’s ever been in her life, but he’s the only man that seems to have as many demons and skeletons in the closet as she does. What’s more, he’s got her thinking of the one thing she stopped letting herself even hope for years ago.</span></span></div>

Besides writing and feeding her book-a-day reading addiction, she can often be found tackling reno projects with her power tools and trying pretty much anything without reading the directions first, or cooking 'special edition' dishes that laugh in the face of recipes.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"I have always been strong, independent and wanted a life that belonged to me. It's the very reason why I chose to attend Stanford because it is away from the small-town life that seems more Twin Peaks than charming. Secrets are a dangerous commodity and Pine Bluff has them in spades. So do my parents, and the dirtiest secret of all is my brother, Trey. Sergeant at Arms for the Demon's Bastards, a criminal, a felon, and perhaps the catalyst for the tragedy that destroyed my life just days before I was supposed to leave for college.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Now I am on the run because my life is in danger and I could be next. I don't want to live my whole life looking over my shoulder and I don't want to live my life shrouded in despair. Anxiety has me in a death grip, unable to let go. I pop Xanax to get through the day and were it not for my famous cousin, I would probably be dead already.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Linx Carter never thought he could help anyone when he could barely help himself. He is hanging on by a thread after a tough, six-month Gods of Rock Tour with his band, Winter's Regret, and Scarlet Fever. He has a greedy ex-wife, two sons and all he wants is to put the pieces of his life back together.</span></div>

She's wounded, in desperate need of a friend yet feminine, feisty and no one's charity case. She is the strongest woman he has ever known.</span></div>

Trista is caught in the crossfire, and by proxy, so is Linx. What they discover might not only cost them the love they have for one another but their lives too. </span></div>

<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58686" style="color: #454545;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Linx’s lips trailed down to my neck as he pushed aside the lapels of my rope to display my breasts. His fingers squeezed my nipples until they were rock hard; it was an exquisite pain, and the feel of his calloused hands on my soft breasts caused heat to spread through my skin. My whole being ached with want and need.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58686" style="color: #454545;">

<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58687" style="color: #454545;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">His tongue replaced his fingers on my right breast, the warmth of his breath and that beautiful organ in his mouth was intoxicating. I felt light-headed from the stir of emotions and my stomach burst with the wings of butterflies. The feeling between my legs was worse because I was so turned on, I just wanted him to take me; no prerequisites, nothing but his hard cock inside me.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58687" style="color: #454545;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As his mouth circled my nipple, sucking hard, his free hand reached between my legs and massaged my aching clit. He quickly plunged two fingers inside of me, eliciting a gasp from me at the sensation. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58734" style="color: #454545;">

<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58688" style="color: #454545;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The orgasm he coaxed from my body shook me to my very core and drenched his fingers in my juices. His mouth came to meet mine again and I moaned against it as his tongue forced its way between my lips, as he kissed me passionately, deeply. I stood on shaky legs as he withdrew his fingers and placed them in his mouth—fuck that was the ultimate turn on—before he grabbed me by the back of my neck and kissed me again.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58688" style="color: #454545;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A sudden knock on the window rudely interrupted us. We both looked to see Kelly, the shopper, smiling at us though her face was flushed like she’d run a marathon.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58735" style="color: #454545;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“How the hell did she get back inside our suite?” My heavy breathing tried to keep up with the thunderous beating of my heart. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58736" style="color: #454545;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Linx had completely and utterly did a number on me and the worst part was I never saw it coming.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58737" style="color: #454545;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“She’s got a card key to the room, babe.” He kissed me again quickly before he rested his head on my shoulder and stroked my back with gentle hands.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“My clothes must be here,” I whispered to him.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58739" style="color: #454545;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“I can’t wait to strip the dress off you later tonight,” he said to me, his mouth close to my left ear.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378235364259_58740" style="color: #454545;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We stared at one another and I could see, and feel, his desire for me. Neither of us attempted to move though the sooner we got rid of Kelly, the sooner we could get married and finally have sex.</span></div>
